Editing Familiarity Question (section)

===Have them roll Knowledge (whatever)===
Elegant on paper, useless in practice. Druids can turn into natural animals, but since those are all bound to the same skill it's just a matter of minmaxing it (or just plain old leveling up) to reliably roll for the specific creature's Knowledge DC. Do try and avoid invoking [[Bear Lore]], beause as we all know that's just stupid. On the other hand, a character such as a [[Prestige classes|Master of Many Forms]] who can turn into monsters linked to a variety of different sources (kind of how an [[Archivist]]'s class feature works). This means that there are at least five Knowledge skills the character will need to invest in (not all of whom will be on their skill list) to get the most out of their character, which will result in the player trying to minmax his character, which is not a desirable result.
